boredom and depression will get you, that’s why there’s the saying “ignorance is bliss”
A lot of people aren’t impressed. I’ve seen people who are ten steps ahead while everyone else thinks they are ten steps behind.
She was my coworker, but I left her when I moved.
Which class? we had different students depending on the subject.
He went on to become an internationally renowned heart surgeon
Works in open source charity driven software - he’s having a ball.
I scored the highest tertiary entrance rank in my school without studying a day in my life and had my pick of any university course or career. I went to university, and excelled at exams, but because I had undiagnosed ADHD and had never learned time management, I couldn’t cope with assignments that couldn’t be thrown together at the last minute in my lunch break. I was academically excluded.
So there was that. Basically, my life has continued to look like some variation of that experience since then :P
I'm in this answer and I don't like it.This also happened to me. I dropped out of game art & design school. Now I’m doing art and animation for a game dev company. I took the scenic route, but I got here eventually!
He went to Havard and got a PHD in mathematics. He had a short career as a researcher and professor. Later he bought a piece of land and became a hermit. But he was annoyed with society and sent people bombs, and published an article about contemporary world issues. He was eventually jailed.
Sounds familiar
A person distantly affiliated to me called the FBI on Kaczynski back when he was in society, saying this guy is FUCKIN dangerous and you really need to look into him. They said, well, he hasn’t actually done anything, so honestly there’s not much we can do.
Wasn’t he part of MK-Ultra so isnt the government is probably to blame for some of his antics
He was. His participation in MK-Ultra is documented and I think it’s a safe to conclude that that means the CIA probably fucked up his brain and/or traumatized him, and made him that way in the first place.
You went at school with Unabomber?
From high school: went to an ivy league, coasted with Bs and Cs, has a high paying job in NYC in finance. Saw on insta that he privately booked out a bar in Manhattan for his birthday, so I guess he’s doing good. From college: Currently over-employeed, married, owns a house in the inner suburbs, expecting first child. My life is pretty great, could be better, could be worse.
I have no idea. I’ve only kept up with 4 or 5 people from high school.
She was killed in a traffic accident senior year.
Well, fucking shit man.
I mean we had a few that were al up there. From what I recall Jamie dropped out and had a couple of kids, Mark still lives at home 'cause he’s got no job and Just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot. Jay committed suicide. Brandon OD’d and died.
What the hell is going on??
Society doesn’t reward intelligence and drive, together or singly. Society rewards mediocrity (make boss look good, not yourself) and undercutting.
The cruelest dream - reality.
Chances thrown, nothing’s free
Longing for what used to be. Still, it’s hard
hard to see
Fragile lives
Should’ve known we’d never get far.
GCHQ. Need I say more…
it’s reading lemmy right now :p
He became addicted to drugs and fell off. Last time i heard anything off him, he lives in south america somewhere as a street performer and found love. So i dunno.
I’m still here.
Kidding! How do you determine who the smartest kid was?
Wait 5 second, they will tell you.
Valedictorian is a way, but plenty of valedictorians aren’t the smartest kid, just the smart one who had the motivation to become one.
Can’t even use SAT or ACT score to pick, because the smartest kid may not have cared enough to bother or try to do as well as they could.
Plus, there are so many different types of smart; test taking is far from the only one.
